Description Raphaël Droz 2011-08-01 15:36:39 UTC

work/mozilla-1.9.2/js/src/js
is a symlink to
work/mozilla-1.9.2/js/src/shell/js
The 'js' binary is not installed by this ebuild, I didn't test it was the case in previous versions, but /usr/bin/js used to be installed by the previous version of
dev-lang/spidermonkey.

Reproducible: Always

I tried to re-emerge dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.2.15 today but still no /usr/bin/js installed ?
Am I alone ? did I miss a point ? can anyone reproduce ?

This is true for both 1.8.2* and 1.8.5; a simple 'dobin shell/js ||die ' added to src_install() will take care of it.

At least one package in the tree (net-misc/plowshare) requires the js-shell.

Comment 6 Fabian Köster 2011-11-04 18:11:20 UTC

I can confirm that adding 'dobin shell/js ||die ' to src_install() works for dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.2.15 and I can use jsawk [1] with it.

Thanks for reporting, bugs have been addressed if problem persists do not hesitate to reopen.

Comment 8 Joakim Tjernlund 2011-12-02 15:17:12 UTC

dev-lang/spidermonkey-1.8.2.15 still lacks 'dobin shell/js ||die '

Comment 9 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

We (mozilla herd) decided not to add it to that one, as if we did then we would have to revbump it and mark it ~arch -- in which case, there is no benefit since spidermonkey-1.8.5 (which is already ~arch) has been fixed to provide the js shell.

Is upgrading to spidemronkey-1.8.5 not an option for you?

Comment 10 Joakim Tjernlund 2011-12-05 12:32:23 UTC

We use the stable version and it broke after upgrading from 1.7

If you going to stabilize 1.8.5 any day now I suppose we
can wait a few days. Just need some stable version with a
working /usr/bin/js

Comment 11 Joakim Tjernlund 2011-12-29 14:58:41 UTC

Turns out that 1.8.5 does not work some js scripts.
Possibly because the script is buggy but I think it would
be a good idea to fix 1.8.2.15 to install the missing
file. Especially since 1.8.5 doesn't seem go stable any time soon.
